CUTANEOUS ONCOLOGY: MELANOMA
Recognizing Melanoma-It Saves Lives!
Melanoma: A Mysterious Disease!
Melanoma: Metastasis Does Occur!
Melanoma: Lifetime Risk
Lifetime Risk of an American Developing Invasive Melanoma
Rigel DS et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 1996;34:839-47
Highest: Old white males
Lowest: Young black femalesHall HI et al.J Am Acad Dermatol 1999;40:35-42
ACS: 2017 1 in <50 ( ~2.4% overall lifetime risk)
Males: 1 in 33
Females: 1 in 52
Melanoma Risk: Racial & Ethnic Groups
• White Americans have the highest risk of developing melanoma in both men & women
• Lifetime risk for an American
1 in 40 for white Americans (~2%) ♂ > ♀
1 in 1,000 for African Americans (~0.1%)
1 in 700 for Asian/Pacific Islanders (~0.15%)
1 in 200 for Hispanic/Latinos (~0.5%)
• A person’s specific risk may vary, depending on his or her individual risk factors

MELANOMA
Incidence Predictions
Adolescents and Young AdultsCancers in adolescents (aged 15 to 19 years) differ somewhat from those in children in terms of type and distribution. For example, brain and other nervous system tumors (21%) (more than one-half [58%] of which are benign/borderline malignant) and lymphoma (20%) are equally common, and there are almost twice as many cases of Hodgkin lymphoma as non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Leukemia is third (13%), followed by germ cell and gonadal tumors (11%) and thyroid carcinoma (11%).
Skin Melanoma accounts for 4% of the cancers in adolescents
Siegel et al, CA Cancer J Clin 2018;68:7-30
MELANOMA
Future Incidence Predictions
Comparing predictions in US for 2015 to 2020 & beyond
• 2020: 111,000 invasive cases +37,130 (50%↑)
• 2030: 151,000 invasive cases +77,130 (>2x ↑)
By 2030, melanoma will be the fifth most common cancer in the
US behind breast (294,000), prostate (228,000), lung (225,000),
and thyroid (183,000)
+ = increase compared to 2015 predictions
Rahib et al, Cancer Res 2014;74:2913-21 Siegel et al, CA Cancer J Clin 2015;65:5-29
MELANOMA
Future Incidence PredictionsWhat do they mean for us?
• Potentially dramatic increases in the number of new cases over
the next 15 years – a doubling of cases nationwide
• Most will likely have localized disease, & occur increasingly in
an elderly population, but probably many more pediatric cases
as well
• Patients with metastatic melanoma will live longer & require
more follow-up due to new treatments
• We will need to be prepared for more volume & more survivors
than ever before!

Moles as Precursor Lesions of Melanoma
• Acquired (common) nevi associated with increased risk for melanoma if numerous
80% of all patients have up to 50 nevi
Risk likely increases with > 50 lesions
Nevi on unusual sites (buttocks, feet, ant. scalp) may be precursors
• Atypical nevi are both a “marker” for increased risk for melanoma (on normal skin) & are precursor lesions (low individual risk)
Risk related to total number nevi (common & atypical)
Risk related to personal & family Hx for MM
Prophylactic removal therefore will not prevent development MM
Kanzler MH et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:260-276
Moles as Precursor Lesions of Melanoma
• Congenital nevi can be precursor lesions (1-2.5% newborns)
Histologic growth pattern best indicator (risk if involvement of deep dermis)
Small size (<1.5 cm) --------------------low risk (observation)
Intermediate size (1.5 cm-20 cm) –- intermediate risk (biopsy to assess for depth)
Large size (>20 cm) -------------------- high risk (“wait & watch” not acceptable!)
Kanzler MH et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:260-276
Atypical Moles (AM)
• Synonym: Dysplastic, Clark’s nevi
• Occur in < 10% of American Caucasians
• Sporadic or familial
• Single or multiple
• Cutaneous marker identifying individuals at increased risk
for melanoma
• Risk affected by personal and/or family history of melanoma
Slade J et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 1995; 32:479-94

Kanzler MH et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:260-276
Atypical Mole Syndrome (AMS)
• No universally accepted definition
• Several variants all possessing atypical moles
• Syndrome synonyms: Dysplastic nevus, B-K mole, FAM-M, FAMMM, Clark’s nevus and “classic” atypical mole syndrome (CAMS)
• A spectrum of phenotypic expressions:
Lowest risk: patient with one AM & no personal or family history of MM
Highest risk: patient with multiple AM and/or MM & some or all kindred with AM & at least two of whom have MM (FAMMM syndrome)
Slade J et al. J Am Acad Dermatol 1995; 32:479-94
Familial Atypical Mole and Melanoma Syndrome (FAM-M)
• NIH Consensus Conference definition:
Patient has a large number of melanocytic nevi, often
more than 50, several clinically atypical (AM) & many
variable in size
Patient has history of melanoma in one or more first- or
second-degree relatives
AM display distinctive histopathologic features
• Lifetime risk of developing melanoma approaches 82% in
patients with AM & 2 or more first-degree relatives with
melanoma
NIH Consensus Conference in JAMA 1992; 263:1314-1319

Atypical Mole Syndrome: Relative Risk Kraemer Classification
Kraemer KH & Greene MH: Dermatol Clin 1985;3:225-37
Familial & Sporadic Precursors of Cutaneous Melanoma
RISK 300X!!!
• Controversial
Aggressive biopsies vs observation?
Excisional vs scallop biopsies (if indicated)?
• Excision (if biopsy positive)
All lesions or only those with severe atypia?
What about lesions with moderate atypia?
Conventional vs deep scallop?
1mm vs 2mm margins?
• Dermatopathologist
What are their skill sets?
Do they “over read” atypia?
Do they make “recommendations” to excise?
Management of “Atypical /Dysplastic Nevi”

• Surrounded by ring of
hypo- or de-pigmentation
• Immunologic reaction to
abnormal nevus
• Common in teenagers

Melanoma Mimickers: Recurrent Nevus
(Pseudomelanoma)
• Recurrence of benign
nevus at site of
incomplete removal
• Residual melanocytes
become hyperactive
producing irregular
pigmentation confined
to scar!

History is the key
Dermatoscope
• A hand-held microscope that provides
detailed visualization of the structures
of the epidermis, the dermal –
epidermal junction, and the papillary
dermis not visible to the naked eye.
• Powerful tool to aid the diagnosis of
early melanomas
• Helps differentiate benign from
malignant pigmented and non-
pigmented lesions of the skin
Pigmented Lesions:
When Should You Perform A Biopsy?
• Onset after age 40
• Irregular border
• Asymmetry
• Irregular pigment esp. black
• Colors of “American flag”
• Change in size
• Pain, irritation, pruritus
• Bleeding, crusting “Infection”
• When you don’t know what it is!
• INTUITION!
Melanoma: Biopsy Technique
• Goal is complete removal for thorough
histological evaluation & microstaging
If high index of suspicion
– Excisional biopsy whenever possible
– Punch biopsy of the darkest & thickest
area if too large or excision not feasible
If low index of suspicion
– Deep “scallop” or “saucerization”, not
tangential or “shave”
– Incumbent on provider to get below lesion!
Melanoma: Biopsy Technique
Attempt complete removal,
by deep “scallop” technique
2mm margins -----------------
provides dermatopathologist
better assessment of entire
lesion & growth pattern
Melanoma: Biopsy Technique
Exception: Punch biopsy
can be used to take a
portion of a large lesion or
a very small lesion (in
effect an excision) if
clinically conventional
excision not feasible
Pearl Alert
Exception: May
need several
biopsies if lesion is
large and ill-defined
& excision not
feasible
Clark Breslow
Melanoma: Microstaging
Pathology Report - What’s Important
• Tumor thickness (Breslow)
• Ulceration
• Mitoses
• Margin involvement
You’ve Diagnosed Melanoma-
Now What?
Initial Diagnostic Work-Up
• Validate Adequate Biopsy (Need
to be below the base of the lesion-
for prognostic purposes; however
doesn’t affect ultimate outcome!)
• Full Skin Exam
• Complete ROS
• Palpation of lymph node basins
• The extent of the staging work-up & treatment should be defined
by the extent of local & regional disease
• Focus on meaningful assessment of primary & nodal disease
Primary lesion:
Thin or thick
Regional nodal involvement:
Microscopic or macroscopic
Surgical Therapy of MelanomaIndividualized treatment
Disease-free survival stratified by SLN status
Gershenwald et al. J Clin Oncol 1999
SLN status is the most
powerful independent
prognostic factor
predicting survival;
individualizing treatment
Reasons to Perform SLNB Improved Staging & Prognosis
Sentinel Node Hypothesis
• Concept:
Melanoma metastasis
proceeds in an orderly
manner via lymphatics
The sentinel node reflects
status of the remaining
lymphatic basin
“Skip metastases” rarely occur
(<3%)
Sentinel Node Hypothesis
• Conclusion: If sentinel
node is tumor free, the
remaining lymphatic
basin will also be tumor
free
Sentinel Lymph Node BiopsyClinical Example
Surgical Therapy of MelanomaIndividualized treatment
TUMOR THICKNESS SURGERY
In Situ 0.5-1.0 cm margins; No SLNB²
≤1.0 mm 1.0 cm margins; No SLNB³
1.01-2.0 mm 1.0-2.0 cm margins; SLNB
> 2.0 mm 2.0 cm margins; SLNB
+ lymph nodes (Including + SLNB) Complete lymph node dissection
Surgical Guidelines¹
¹Margins can be modified to accommodate anatomic/functional considerations
²For large MMIS, Lentigo maligna type, margins > .5 cm may be necessary to clear:
(consider topical Imiquimod or radiotherapy if + margins and inoperable)
³Consider SLNB selected patients (.76-1.0 mm) e.g. young & high risk histology
Melanoma: Staging Work-upWhy important?
• Groups patients into similar
prognostic & management
cohorts
• Guides clinician to counsel
patient regarding prognosis &
treatment
• Groups patients into
homogeneous populations for
clinical trials
Johnson TM et al. Arch Dermatol 2004;140:107-113
Melanoma: Staging Work-upGeneral Information
• There are no data today that demonstrate any significant difference in overall
survival (OS) between asymptomatic & symptomatic stage IV disease!
• Prognosis is dismal--but some patients may benefit from surgical & / or
systemic intervention--that can lead to significant remission
• Quality of life often worsened by asymptomatic detection of stage IV disease
• Detection of occult regional disease may result in higher survival rates
Stage III survival primarily determined by:
– Number of positive nodes
– The microscopic & macroscopic tumor burden in nodes
– The ulceration status of primary lesion
Status of sentinel node therefore becomes critical
Johnson TM et al. Arch Dermatol 2004;140:107-113
Melanoma: Staging Work-upGuidelines for Care: General
• Foundation of initial workup is thorough history &
physical exam
Examine the primary site, the regional lymphatic
pathways & lymph node basin(s), remainder of skin &
mucus membranes
ROS should be a melanoma-focused
Stage 0, I, II disease– NO routine blood studies
– NO routine imaging studies unless specific signs/symptoms!
– SLNB stage II and IB >.76mm-1mm (ulceration or mitoses)
)
Melanoma: Staging Work-up
Guidelines for Care: General
• Imaging & Hematologic Testing—Beneficial? Current screening studies lack both high sensitivity & high specificity
Tests have marginal efficacy & not cost-effective for detecting occult disease
False-positive tests are common (15-20%) – lead to more tests, expense, duress
Tests are indicated if ROS or exam abnormal
Beneficial If abnormal; would preclude more extensive surgery (e.g. CLND if SLN +)
Lymph node sonography & Positron Emission Tomography may be most sensitive non-invasive tests to identify small nodal metastases
However, for asymptomatic patients with clinically localized disease--SLNB is the more sensitive & more specific test to detect sub-clinical nodal disease!
Johnson TM et al. Arch Dermatol 2004;140:107-113
Melanoma: Staging Work-up Guidelines
Asymptomatic Patients
MELANOMA STATUS NCCN (Version1.2017)
Local disease In Situ (S0) No routine tests
Local disease <1.0 mm (SI) No routine tests
No SLNB*
*Consider SLNB lesion ( 0.75-1.0 mm) if ulceration or mitotic rate > 1/mm²
Local disease ≥1.0 mm (SII) No routine tests
SLNB if clinically neg nodes; if equivocal nodal basin ultrasound with biopsy
of abnormal nodes before SLNB
Regional disease (S III) SLNB +: Consider CT or PET/CT (staging)
Clinically + nodes: Confirm histologically (FNA or core, incisional, or
excisional biopsy)
Baseline CT or PET/CT (staging)
If + inguinofemoral nodes must do pelvic CT
Distant disease (S IV) Confirm histologically (FNA or core, incisional, or excisional biopsy)
Baseline chest/abdominal/pelvic CT with or without PET/CT
Brain MRI or CT with contrast should be performed
Serum LDH (not sensitive marker for metastatic disease-reflects tumor
burden-prognostic value)
• Routine laboratory tests and imaging studies not
required if melanoma <4 mm
• CXR and LDH optional
• Follow-up for > 4.0 mm or +LN is the same
Baseline LDH, CXR and CT Abdomen
Repeat only if symptomatic
• Full skin exam Q 3 to 6 months
• Patient education on skin and LN self-examination
• Yearly ophthalmologic and gynecologic exams
